Abstract

Community Service Program (KKN) is a learning process for students through various direct activities in the community, and students strive to be part of the community and actively and creatively engage in the dynamics that occur in society. Students have a strategic role as agents of change. Community Service Program (KKN) is a form of community service for university students through the provision of empowerment assistance, training, counseling, guidance, mentoring and to raise awareness of their potential, as well as helping to improve the quality of life and development. Students will gain generative abilities in the form of life skills. Observations are carried out using the following methods: (1) question and answer, (2) documentation, and (3) direct observation in the field. Based on the results of the observations, the KKN group work program to be implemented is determined, including physical group programs and non-physical group programs. The physical group programs include Designing a Tourism Village Concept, Supervising Village Road Paving, Making & Packaging Compost, Introducing & Counseling the Matesih Smart Application, while the non-physical group programs include Mentoring & Healthy Exercise for Students of SDN 03 Matesih, Study Guidance at the Village Post, Reviving the Youth Organization, 17th August Competition, Tirakatan Night, and Closing. Judging from these programs, students act as facilitators, dynamists, and motivators. The implementation of the work program, which started from August 8, 2022, to August 31, 2022, went relatively smoothly. Thus, after the KKN activity ends, it is hoped that the residents and youth organizations of Matesih Village, especially in Panderejo Hamlet, can develop all the potential that exists within themselves and the surrounding environment. And every activity that has been carried out continuously will be maintained to equip themselves for the future
